Woke up as a Worthless Swordsmanship Genius - Chapter 106

Episode 106:

The hatchling couldn’t calm down for a while and kept mumbling.

Those bright eyes that I had seen at first were gone, and now I was devastated, and sometimes I would stare blankly into space or be startled by nothing.

‘What on earth happened?’

How could it be possible for a hatchling to deteriorate this much?

Hatchlings, which have enormous mana from birth, have the fear of a dragon, so unless they are intelligent monsters, they will never be touched.

However, there was no human being that could touch a hatchling.

The hatchling, who hid her identity, was so good at hiding that even Beatrice, a magical genius, could not recognize her.

To make a hatchling like this, you need to be a wizard of at least the 7th circle.

‘Could it be that the Count is like that?’

The only wizards I met recently were Count Skylar and Count Millennium.

As for Count Skylar, I don’t recognize him except when Hatchling heals me, so I’m excluding him.

What remains is Count Millennium.

Why would the Count do such a thing?

No, it was strange to take the hatchling and return it in the first place.

The hatchling’s body was too valuable to be returned.

In particular, the Manahat was an extremely excellent elixir that nothing could compare to for a wizard.

There was no way I could give up something like that easily.

-Devil, Demon, Demon…

I walked closer to the hatchling, who was looking in all directions with anxious eyes.

The hatchling looks up at me with empty eyes.

He sat down next to him and placed his hand on the hatchling’s head.

-….

The hatchling closed his mouth.

‘I’ve never raised a child before.’

I patted my head.

I don’t know what happened, but I couldn’t just leave this guy looking at me like a poor sheep.

I soon regretted that action.

“Can’t you move away a little bit?”

-hate. Are you abandoning me again?

“When did I abandon you?”

-Abandon me. bad. don’t throw it away

Don’t throw it away after it disappears arbitrarily.

It’s absurd and embarrassing.

The hatchling climbed on my head and didn’t want to come down.

It stuck to me when I slept, when I ate, and even when I went to the bathroom.

Every time I tried to let it go, it clung to me with all my might.

I couldn’t sleep properly due to the discomfort.

“What on earth happened?”

-You shouldn’t say that. My skin is coming off!

I couldn’t ask him why he was doing this or where he had been.

I had seizures every time, so it was difficult to even talk properly.

‘It’s going to be really annoying.’

My worries increased.

It was very comfortable when there were no hatchlings.

It was good that I didn’t have to worry about dragons in the future because I left on my own.

But the moment the hatchling returned, I had to worry about the dragon again.

Because I couldn’t help but worry, the hatchling had now turned into a chewing gum and had difficulty moving around.

“Haa….”

I couldn’t stop sighing without realizing it.

***

Late at night.

I couldn’t sleep well because I was being kicked around by the hatchling.

It was uncomfortable to sleep because I was lying on my stomach or on my head.

‘I’m hungry…’

I couldn’t sleep well, but more than anything, I ate very poorly all day.

As soon as I tried to eat something, the hatchling used all kinds of magic, thinking it would be poisonous.

-Cool…

Perhaps because he was asleep properly, the hatchling still showed no sign of waking up even when I sneaked out of bed.

“Ha… It’s so comfortable to be alone.”

Since the hatchlings didn’t stick, it was so comfortable that I can’t explain it in words.

The hatchling bothered me quite a bit in one day.

‘Is the kitchen over there…’

I left the room and walked towards the kitchen.

The full moon floating in the sky brightened the dark night.

“Where…”

Clatter rattle.

I sneaked into the kitchen and started looking for something to eat to fill my stomach.

After rummaging around for a while, I was able to find some beef jerky rolled up in a ball.

I tore off a piece and put it in my mouth.

“Who are you?”

Suddenly, the surroundings brightened and a man came running in.

Huh!

He quickly pulled out a large Chinese sword and lunged at me.

Kaaaang!

I felt a heavy impact on my hand.

It was a shame that I brought a sword just in case, otherwise it would have been a bit dangerous.

“Uh… Master…?”

The man wielding the Chinese sword made a dumb sound as if he was checking my face.

The force was so great that my arm, which was blocking the middle esophagus, was shaking.

“If you know, get out of the way, right?”

“iced coffee…! sorry!”

The man hurriedly took out his esophagus and stepped back.

I frowned, shaking off my numb hands.

I heard you worked as a mercenary before becoming a chef.

At this level, he seemed to be well above the level of a knight.

“Why is the chef here?”

He is the count’s chef, who should normally be sleeping.

It was rare for him to come out at such a late hour.

“I came because I needed to check the ingredients to be used tomorrow morning… What brings you here so late, Master?”

“Because I’m hungry.”

I picked up the beef jerky and showed it to him.

Then he nodded and said that he understood.

“Then, let me make you a quick snack.”

“no. This is enough. “Why bother cooking?”

“But…”

“That’s enough. “I’ll just accept your heart.”

I patted his hesitant shoulder and walked past him and left the kitchen.

Perhaps because the beef jerky was salty, I was satisfied without adding anything else.

“Tsk… tsk tsk….”

I sat on the garden bench holding a fist-sized lump of beef jerky and stared straight ahead blankly.

The garden, made of flowers and various types of trees, boasted a beautiful scenery under the light of the moon.

There was a wall on the side of the garden, and there were countless vines wrapped around the wall.

“Hmm…”

The count’s family, which boasted strict security and barriers, was famous for being a clean area with no intruders.

The moment they invaded the count’s house, they would turn the entire central magic tower into an enemy, so there was no way they could do such a thing.

At least there are no people in the kingdom who would commit such an act.

‘What are those?’

For a moment, I thought there was something wrong with my eyes.

I was hungry and couldn’t sleep well, so I thought I was seeing something.

Isn’t that so?

Even though it was a night when the vigilance was slightly weakened, it was still a count’s house.

A group of people was climbing over the wall of the count’s house.

They appeared to be highly trained assassins, wearing black masks and crouching in the shadows.

“This wasn’t in the novel either…”

In the first place, no one other than Ahar attacked and invaded the Millennium Count family.

Therefore, the secretly moving intruders were somewhat embarrassed.

‘uh? ‘Wait a minute…’

That wasn’t all.

As if they had done something, sparks were flying wherever they passed.

“The flow of mana is distorted…”

That is dangerous.

No, those beings were dangerous.

I don’t know what they had, but it was clear that they were dangerous to wizards.

As soon as they could get over the wall, they stuck to it and ran to one place.

But the place located in that direction was strange.

“Why are you going there?”

If someone sneaked into the count’s house, it was normal to target the count, the owner.

Or attack me, his successor.

Otherwise, there is no need to risk having to deal with the Magic Tower…

‘…Princess?’

When I thought about where they were heading, the princess suddenly came to mind.

Her bedroom is close to mine.

Calculating their direction, she was exactly the destination.

I don’t know why I was targeting her, but what I had to do was clear.

“Ha… Do you really bother people?”

I have to rescue the girl who came as a guest of the countess.

I ran after them.

***

The Count’s office.

In the dark space, only the desk where the Count was sitting was brightly lit.

Light magic was used to create a moderate amount of light so that there was no inconvenience in viewing the office.

“I’m sick of it…”

the Count muttered quietly as he tapped his feather pen over the papers.

I was locked in my office for several years, looking at documents.

Thousands of reports came in every day.

He had to check hundreds of documents, even though his vassals below were doing some processing.

To the point where I miss the days when the family was small.

At that time, although the family was weak, there was freedom.

It was a time when he was alone with meaningless thoughts.

“hmm…?”

I felt a sense of foreignness in the barrier he had laid across the city.

It felt like the mana in a certain area was forcibly blocked by something.

The funny thing was that the feeling was very weak.

In most cases, such as barriers, even the slightest effect was always reported to the wizard who created the barrier.

“That’s interesting.”

What I was feeling right now was something that most wizards wouldn’t notice.

That intrigued him.

Normally in a case like this, I would have called the knights or woke up the vassals and sent them out.

“After a long time.”

He, wearing a robe hanging on the wall, waved his hand in the air.

“Warp.”

A bright light stayed beneath his feet and transported him to another space.

“what?”

His vision changed and his brow furrowed as he looked around.

***

The window leading to the princess’s bedroom opened quietly.

They got in quickly.

There was a bed, and the princess, covered with a cozy blanket, was sleeping on it without the world knowing.

Qiying –

A wire was taken out from the arm of the masked person in front.

That was when his hand went towards the princess’s neck.

“What are you doing?”

“…!”

A voice came from behind and the masked man holding the wire hurriedly stepped aside as something flew by.

Coo!

One of the masked men passed by him and crashed into the wall.

The masked people stepped back in surprise.

Their eyes turned to the window they entered.

There was a man on the window, bending his knees and twirling his sword.

The softly shining moonlight cast a shadow on his face.

I couldn’t see the face clearly.

Whoosh whoosh!

The masked person holding the wire sent a hand signal to the masked people next to him.

Then, the masked people who received the signal each took out their daggers and attacked him.

Sigh!

A solid line was drawn in the air.

And the bodies of the masked people who were running collapsed on the spot.

“Coming here means you’re going to pretend to be with Millennium, right?”

The moonlight shone on his face from the window.

The bodies of the masked people stiffened as they saw his face slowly revealed.

“What are you doing. Are you going to zone out?”

Raymond Millennium was holding a sword and pointing it at them with a mysterious look.

Swish, swish, swish!

The masked man holding the wire sent a hand signal with a serious look on his face.

All the masked people nodded and rushed towards Raymond, and the masked person holding the wire ran towards the princess.

“Aren’t you ignoring me too much?”

“…!”

Before he knew it, Raymond’s sword was pointed at his neck.
